    What do ecologist theorists believe about perception?

    • It is top-down and conceptually driven

    • It is bottom-up and data driven

    Correct Answer
    A. It is bottom-up and data driven
    Explanation
    Ecologist theorists believe that perception is bottom-up and data-driven. This means that perception starts with the raw sensory information from the environment and then builds up a conceptual understanding based on that data. In other words, perception is driven by the input of sensory information and the analysis of that information to form a coherent understanding of the world. This view contrasts with the idea that perception is top-down and conceptually driven, where pre-existing concepts and expectations shape our perception of the world.

    Gibson supports the 

    • Ecological theory of perception

    • Constructivist theory of perception

    Correct Answer
    A. Ecological theory of perception
    Explanation
    The Ecological theory of perception suggests that perception is influenced by the interaction between an individual and their environment. According to this theory, perception is not solely based on internal mental processes, but also on the information available in the surrounding environment. Gibson, a prominent psychologist, supported this theory and emphasized the importance of perception in relation to an individual's ability to navigate and interact with their environment. Therefore, it can be inferred that Gibson supports the Ecological theory of perception.

    Gregory supports the 

    • Constructivist theory of perception

    • Ecological theory of perception

    Correct Answer
    A. Constructivist theory of perception
    Explanation
    Gregory supports the Constructivist theory of perception because he believes that perception is an active process where the brain constructs an interpretation of sensory information based on prior knowledge and experiences. He argues that perception is not a direct reflection of the external world, but rather a subjective and interpretive process influenced by individual beliefs and expectations. This aligns with the Constructivist theory, which emphasizes the role of cognition and interpretation in shaping our perception of reality. On the other hand, the Ecological theory of perception posits that perception is primarily driven by the direct perception of affordances in the environment, which is not supported by Gregory's views.

    According to Constructivists, where does perception start?

    • Retinal image

    • Optic array

    Correct Answer
    A. Retinal image
    Explanation
    Constructivists believe that perception starts with the retinal image. They argue that the information received by the retina is processed by the brain to construct our perception of the world. The retinal image is the visual input captured by the retina, which consists of light patterns that are projected onto the back of the eye. This image is then interpreted and organized by the brain to form our perception of objects, shapes, colors, and depth. Constructivists emphasize the active role of the brain in constructing our perception based on the retinal image.

    According to Ecological theory, where does perception start?

    • Optic array

    • Retinal image

    Correct Answer
    A. Optic array
    Explanation
    According to Ecological theory, perception starts with the optic array. The optic array refers to the visual information that is gathered by the eyes from the surrounding environment. This information includes the patterns of light and color that are present in the visual field. The optic array provides the initial input for perception and allows the brain to process and interpret the visual information, leading to the formation of a perceptual experience. The retinal image, on the other hand, refers specifically to the image that is formed on the retina, which is a part of the eye. While the retinal image is an important component of visual perception, it is the optic array that is considered to be the starting point for perception according to Ecological theory.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    According to Constructivists, how do we know the real size of an object?

    • By inferring the size from distance cues

    • By using the texture gradiant

    • By using motion parallax

    Correct Answer
    A. By inferring the size from distance cues
    Explanation
    According to Constructivists, the real size of an object is known by inferring it from distance cues. This means that we can determine the size of an object based on our perception of its distance from us. Constructivists argue that our perception of size is not solely based on the object itself, but also on the context and cues provided by the surrounding environment. By analyzing these cues, such as perspective, relative size, and overlap, we can make inferences about the actual size of the object.

  • 8. 

    Visual illusions are typically associated with which theory of perception?

    • Constructivist

    • Ecologist

    Correct Answer
    A. Constructivist
    Explanation
    Visual illusions are typically associated with the constructivist theory of perception. According to this theory, perception is an active process where the brain constructs our perception of the world based on sensory information and prior knowledge. Visual illusions occur when there is a discrepancy between the sensory information received and our pre-existing knowledge and expectations. The constructivist theory suggests that our perception is not a direct representation of the external world, but rather a subjective interpretation influenced by our past experiences and mental processes.

    What does "convergence" refer to?

    • The eyes move together to look at nearby objects

    • Each eye has a different, but similar views

    • Judging depth binocularly

    • Your eyelens changes shape as you focus in or out

    Correct Answer
    A. The eyes move together to look at nearby objects
    Explanation
    Convergence refers to the eyes moving together to look at nearby objects. When an object is close, the eyes need to turn inward in order to focus on it. This allows both eyes to align their visual axes on the object, providing a clear and single image. This is an important visual process that helps with depth perception and binocular vision.

    "Binocular disparity" 

    • The eyes move together to look at nearby objects

    • Each eye has a slightly different view

    • Judging depth binocularly

    • Your eyelens changes shape when you focus in/out

    Correct Answer
    A. Each eye has a slightly different view
    Explanation
    Binocular disparity refers to the slight difference in the view seen by each eye. This occurs because our eyes are positioned slightly apart, resulting in a different perspective from each eye. The brain combines these two slightly different views to create a perception of depth and helps us judge distances accurately. By comparing the disparities between the two images, our brain can determine the relative distance of objects in our visual field.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    The visual cue "Stereopsis"

    • The eyes move together to look at nearby objects

    • Each eye has a slightly different view

    • Judging depth binocularly

    • Your eyelens changes shape when you focus in/out

    Correct Answer
    A. Judging depth binocularly
    Explanation
    The visual cue "Stereopsis" refers to the ability of the brain to perceive depth and three-dimensional shapes by combining the slightly different views from each eye. When both eyes focus on nearby objects, they move together and provide slightly different perspectives. These different perspectives are then merged by the brain to create a sense of depth perception. Therefore, judging depth binocularly is the correct explanation for the visual cue "Stereopsis".

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The visual cue "accomodation"

    • The eyes move together to look at nearby objects

    • Each eye has a slightly different view

    • Judging depth binocularly

    • Your eyelens changes shape when you focus in/out

    Correct Answer
    A. Your eyelens changes shape when you focus in/out
    Explanation
    When focusing on objects at different distances, the shape of the eye lens changes. This change in shape, known as accommodation, allows the eye to adjust its focal length and bring the object into clear focus. This process is essential for maintaining clear vision at various distances and is controlled by the ciliary muscles in the eye.

    One object overlaps another. we judge partly covered object to be further away. this is :

    • A cue to judge object size and distance called "interposition"

    • An effect of motion parallax

    • An effect of texture gradient

    Correct Answer
    A. A cue to judge object size and distance called "interposition"
    Explanation
    The given explanation suggests that when one object overlaps another, it creates a cue called "interposition" which helps us judge the size and distance of the objects. This cue allows us to perceive the partly covered object as being further away.

    Which visual illusion demonstrates that it is difficult to maintain size constancy when depth cues are missing?

    • Ames room

    • Muller lyer angles in angles out

    • Necker cube

    • Checkerboard illusion

    Correct Answer
    A. Ames room
    Explanation
    The Ames room is a visual illusion that demonstrates the difficulty in maintaining size constancy when depth cues are missing. In an Ames room, the shape of the room creates an optical illusion where one person appears much larger or smaller than the other, even though they are actually the same size. This illusion occurs because the lack of depth cues, such as perspective and relative size, makes it challenging for our brain to accurately perceive and maintain the size of objects in the absence of these cues.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What does the "Necker Cube" visual illusion demonstrate?

    • Hypothesis testing, and there for evidence for bottom up processing

    • Hypothesis testing and therefore top down processing

    • Brain wrongly corrects, top down

    • Brain wrongly corrects, bottom up

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypothesis testing and therefore top down processing
    Explanation
    The "Necker Cube" visual illusion demonstrates hypothesis testing and therefore top down processing. This means that our brain uses prior knowledge and expectations to interpret ambiguous sensory information. In the case of the Necker Cube, our brain switches between two possible interpretations of the cube, based on our expectations and context. This illusion highlights how our brain actively constructs our perception of reality by making hypotheses and testing them against incoming sensory information.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    What does the "checkerboard illusion" demonstrate?

    • Hypothesis testing and so bottom up processing

    • Hypothesis testing and so top down processing

    • Brain wrongly corrects bottom up

    • Brain wrongly corrects top down

    Correct Answer
    A. Brain wrongly corrects top down
    Explanation
    The "checkerboard illusion" demonstrates that the brain wrongly corrects top-down processing. This means that our perception of reality can be influenced by our expectations and prior knowledge, causing us to see things differently than they actually are. In the case of the checkerboard illusion, the brain incorrectly interprets the colors of the squares based on the surrounding context, making us perceive them as different shades when they are actually the same. This phenomenon highlights the complex nature of our visual perception and the role that our brain plays in shaping our understanding of the world.

    What does "process of resonance" refer to?

    • Our direct access to information, Gibson, Ecological

    • Our direct access to information, Gregory, Constructivist

    • The potential uses of an object, Gregory, Ecological

    • The potential uses of an object, Gibson, Constructivist

    Correct Answer
    A. Our direct access to information, Gibson, Ecological
    Explanation
    The term "process of resonance" refers to our direct access to information according to Gibson's ecological theory. This theory suggests that perception is an active process where individuals directly perceive information from the environment without the need for mental representation or interpretation. This direct access to information allows individuals to make sense of the world and interact with it effectively.

    What is the optic array

    • Structured light reaching the eye

    • The texture of the object

    • Lighting

    • Dorsal and ventral, mango and parvo

    Correct Answer
    A. Structured light reaching the eye
    Explanation
    The optic array refers to the structured light that reaches the eye. This structured light contains information about the texture of the object and is influenced by the lighting conditions. The dorsal and ventral streams in the brain, also known as the "where" and "what" pathways, process this information to help us perceive and understand the visual world.

    The visual cliff experiment seems to illustrate

    • The constructivist approach

    • The ecological approach

    Correct Answer
    A. The ecological approach
    Explanation
    The visual cliff experiment is a classic study in developmental psychology that investigates depth perception in infants. The ecological approach emphasizes the role of the environment in shaping behavior and perception. In this experiment, infants are placed on a glass surface that creates the illusion of a cliff, with a drop-off on one side. The study found that infants who had started crawling were more likely to avoid the "cliff" side, suggesting that their perception of depth was influenced by their understanding of the affordances and risks of the environment. This aligns with the principles of the ecological approach, which highlights the importance of the environment in shaping perception and behavior.

  • 20. 

    For ecologiscal theorists, object constancy arises

    • By combining retinal image and distance cues

    • By picking up invariant properties in the optic array

    Correct Answer
    A. By picking up invariant properties in the optic array
    Explanation
    Ecological theorists believe that object constancy, the ability to perceive objects as stable and unchanging despite variations in their appearance, is achieved by picking up invariant properties in the optic array. The optic array refers to the pattern of light that reaches the eyes from the environment. By detecting properties that remain consistent across different viewpoints, such as the relative size, shape, and position of objects, individuals are able to perceive and recognize objects as the same regardless of changes in their retinal image or distance cues. This allows for a stable perception of the environment and facilitates object recognition and identification.

    The dorsal pathway is

    • Perception for action, constructivist

    • Perception for action, ecological

    • Perception for identification, ecological

    • Perception for identification, constructivist

    Correct Answer
    A. Perception for action, ecological
    Explanation
    The correct answer is perception for action, ecological. The dorsal pathway, also known as the "where" pathway, is responsible for processing visual information related to the perception of motion and spatial location. It is involved in guiding actions and movements based on this visual information. The ecological approach emphasizes the relationship between perception and action, suggesting that perception is shaped by the specific demands of the environment and the actions required to interact with it. Therefore, the perception for action, ecological option is the most appropriate explanation for the dorsal pathway.

    The ventral pathway is

    • Perception for action, ecological

    • Perception for action, constructivist

    • Perception for identification, constructivist

    • Perception fro identification, ecological

    Correct Answer
    A. Perception for identification, constructivist
    Explanation
    The ventral pathway is responsible for perception for identification, according to the constructivist theory. This means that it is involved in processing visual information in order to recognize and identify objects or stimuli in the environment. The constructivist theory suggests that perception is an active process where the brain constructs meaning from sensory input based on previous knowledge and experiences. Therefore, the ventral pathway in the brain is involved in constructing our perception of the world by identifying and assigning meaning to visual stimuli.

    Riddoch and Humphreys "Modek of visual object recognition" illustrates which pathway?

    • Dorsal, ecological

    • Ventral, ecological

    • Dorsal, constructivist

    • Ventral, constructivist

    Correct Answer
    A. Ventral, constructivist
    Explanation
    The Riddoch and Humphreys "Model of visual object recognition" illustrates the ventral pathway and the constructivist approach. The ventral pathway is responsible for the identification and recognition of objects, while the constructivist approach suggests that object recognition is influenced by prior knowledge and expectations. Therefore, the model presented in the study likely focuses on how the ventral pathway and constructivist processes interact in visual object recognition.

  • 26. 

    Gouping elements in visual perception is for

    • Inferring cues to distance

    • Form conceptual wholes, object recognition

    • For perception of action

    Correct Answer
    A. Form conceptual wholes, object recognition
    Explanation
    Grouping elements in visual perception is important for forming conceptual wholes and recognizing objects. When we perceive visual stimuli, our brain automatically organizes the elements into meaningful patterns and objects. This process allows us to make sense of our surroundings and recognize familiar objects and scenes. By grouping elements together, we are able to perceive the whole rather than just individual parts, which aids in object recognition and understanding the overall context of a visual scene. Therefore, grouping elements in visual perception is crucial for forming conceptual wholes and facilitating object recognition.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    If a patient has difficulties recognising and object, but has intact sensory discrimination of length etc, it is called ____ and is evidence for___

    • Apperceptive agnosia, grouping of elements theory

    • Associative agnosia, groupiong of elements theory

    • Optic ataxia, grouping of elements theory

    Correct Answer
    A. Apperceptive agnosia, grouping of elements theory
    Explanation
    Apperceptive agnosia refers to a condition where a patient has difficulties recognizing objects due to a failure in perceiving and integrating the visual elements of the object. This is in line with the grouping of elements theory, which suggests that the perception and recognition of objects are based on the organization and grouping of their constituent elements. In apperceptive agnosia, the intact sensory discrimination of length and other attributes indicates that the patient's basic sensory processes are functioning properly, but the impairment lies in the higher-level perceptual processes required for object recognition.

    Marr and Nishinara's theory of object constancy support which pathway theory?

    • Dorsal, constructivist

    • Ventral, ecologist

    • Dorsal, ecologist

    • Ventral, constructivist

    Correct Answer
    A. Ventral, constructivist
    Explanation
    Marr and Nishinara's theory of object constancy supports the ventral pathway theory. The ventral pathway is responsible for object recognition and is also known as the "what" pathway. The constructivist approach suggests that perception is an active process where the brain constructs meaning from sensory input, which aligns with the idea of object constancy. Therefore, the ventral, constructivist pathway theory is the most appropriate explanation for the given answer.

    Who argued that object constancy is achieven by idetifying so called "geons"

    • Marr, Nishinara

    • Biedermann

    • Riddoch, humphreys

    Correct Answer
    A. Biedermann
    Explanation
    Biedermann argued that object constancy is achieved by identifying so-called "geons". This means that recognizing objects involves identifying and categorizing basic geometric shapes, known as geons, that make up the objects. By identifying these geons and their spatial relationships, we can achieve object constancy, which refers to our ability to perceive objects as stable and consistent despite changes in their appearance or viewing angle.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Which two cues are especially important for the coding of object properties (dorsal pathway)

    • Motion parallax, binocular vision

    • Motion parallax, texture gradiant

    • Texture gradiant, binocular vision

    Correct Answer
    A. Motion parallax, binocular vision
    Explanation
    Motion parallax and binocular vision are especially important for the coding of object properties in the dorsal pathway. Motion parallax refers to the perception of objects moving at different speeds and directions based on their distance from the observer. This cue helps in determining the relative depth and distance of objects in the environment. Binocular vision, on the other hand, relies on the slightly different views provided by both eyes to create a sense of depth and three-dimensional perception. These cues work together to provide the brain with information about the position, distance, and movement of objects in the visual field.

    The Reicher-Wheeler letter detection task illustrates

    • Top down processing

    • Bottom up processing

    Correct Answer
    A. Top down processing
    Explanation
    The Reicher-Wheeler letter detection task involves presenting a series of letters that form words or non-words. Participants are required to quickly identify whether the presented stimulus is a real word or not. This task primarily relies on top-down processing, as participants use their prior knowledge, expectations, and context to guide their perception and decision-making. They apply their knowledge of language and word patterns to quickly identify familiar words, rather than relying solely on the visual features of the individual letters (bottom-up processing).

    In the "Dual Route Cascade Model", the LEXICAL route refers to

    • Reading words you never encountered before and non words

    • Spoken language system, looking things up you already know

    Correct Answer
    A. Spoken language system, looking things up you already know
    Explanation
    The correct answer is spoken language system, looking things up you already know. In the Dual Route Cascade Model, the LEXICAL route is responsible for reading words that are familiar and can be recognized automatically. This route involves accessing the mental lexicon, which contains stored information about words and their meanings. When encountering familiar words, the LEXICAL route quickly retrieves the information from the mental lexicon without the need for additional processing. This process is similar to looking up information that is already known in the spoken language system.

    In the "Dual Route Cascade Model", the SUBLEXICAL route refers to 

    • Reading words you have never encountered before and non words

    • Spoken language system, looking things up you already know

    Correct Answer
    A. Reading words you have never encountered before and non words
    Explanation
    The "Dual Route Cascade Model" proposes two routes for reading: the lexical route and the sublexical route. The lexical route involves recognizing familiar words by sight, while the sublexical route is used for reading unfamiliar words and non-words by decoding their individual phonemes or letter-sound correspondences. Therefore, in the "Dual Route Cascade Model", the sublexical route is responsible for reading words you have never encountered before and non-words.

    • Can read reg+irreg, cant read non words

    • Can read regular+ non words, cant read irregular words

    Correct Answer
    A. Can read reg+irreg, cant read non words
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that individuals with phonological dyslexia have the ability to read both regular and irregular words, but struggle with reading non-words. This may be due to difficulties in phonological processing, where they have trouble decoding unfamiliar or made-up words that do not follow regular phonetic patterns. However, they can still recognize and read words that they have encountered before, regardless of whether they are regular or irregular.

    • Can read reg+irreg, cant read non words

    • Can read regular+ non words, cant read irregular words

    Correct Answer
    A. Can read regular+ non words, cant read irregular words
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that individuals with surface dyslexia can read regular and non-words, but struggle with reading irregular words. This suggests that they have difficulty with the visual-orthographic processing of words, as irregular words do not follow predictable spelling patterns. This type of dyslexia is characterized by a specific impairment in recognizing and processing irregular word forms, while their ability to read regular words and non-words remains intact.

    The trangle model of reading 

    • Supports two seperates routes to reading

    • Supports a single processing mechanism

    Correct Answer
    A. Supports a single processing mechanism
    Explanation
    The triangle model of reading suggests that there is a single processing mechanism involved in reading. This means that when we read, we use one unified process to understand and comprehend the text. This model argues against the idea of two separate routes to reading, which suggests that there are different processes for recognizing words and understanding their meanings. Instead, the triangle model proposes that reading involves a single integrated process that combines both word recognition and comprehension.

    • Vygotsky

    • Sapir-Whorf

    Correct Answer
    A. Chomsky
    Explanation
    Chomsky is the correct answer because he believed that language and thought are independent. He proposed the theory of Universal Grammar, which suggests that humans are born with an innate ability to acquire language. According to Chomsky, language is a separate cognitive function that develops independently from thought processes. This view contrasts with Piaget's theory, which suggests that language and thought are interconnected and develop simultaneously. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory also emphasizes the relationship between language and thought, while the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis proposes that language shapes our thinking.

    A. Vygotsky
    Explanation
    Vygotsky believed that language and thought are interdependent. He argued that language plays a crucial role in shaping and influencing our thinking processes. According to Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, language not only allows us to communicate and express our thoughts, but it also serves as a tool for cognitive development. He believed that through social interactions and language use, individuals acquire new concepts and higher mental functions. Vygotsky emphasized the importance of language in the development of higher-order thinking skills and believed that it is through language that we are able to internalize and regulate our thoughts.

    • Sapir-Whorf

    Correct Answer

Piaget's theory suggests that language development is closely linked to cognitive development, with thought serving as the foundation for language acquisition.

    • Chomsky

    • Piaget

    • Vygotsky

    • Sapir-Whorf

    Correct Answer
    A. Sapir-Whorf
    Explanation
    The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, suggests that language influences or even determines the way people think and perceive the world. This theory proposes that the structure and vocabulary of a language shape the thoughts and behavior of its speakers. It implies that different languages may lead to different cognitive processes and cultural perspectives. While Chomsky, Piaget, and Vygotsky have made significant contributions to the study of language and cognition, it is Sapir-Whorf who specifically proposed the idea that language drives thought.

    Dyslexia seems to rpove that

    • Language drives thought

    • Thought drives language

    • Language and thought are independent

    • Language and thought are interdependent

    Correct Answer
    A. Language and thought are independent
    Explanation
    Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects a person's ability to read, write, and spell. It is often characterized by difficulties with language processing. The fact that dyslexia exists suggests that language and thought are independent of each other. Dyslexic individuals may have thoughts and ideas but struggle to express them accurately through written or spoken language. This implies that language skills can be impaired while cognitive abilities remain intact, reinforcing the idea that language and thought are separate entities.

    According to who language and thought are independent until 2,3yrs of age, and then become interdependent?

    • Chomsky

    • Vygotsky

    • Piaget

    • Sapir-Whorf

    Correct Answer
    A. Vygotsky
    Explanation
    According to Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development, language and thought are initially independent in children until around 2 or 3 years of age. At this point, they start to become interdependent, meaning that language plays a crucial role in shaping and influencing children's thinking and cognitive processes. Vygotsky believed that language acts as a tool for thought, allowing children to express and communicate their ideas, understand concepts, and develop higher-level thinking skills. Therefore, Vygotsky is the correct answer in this case.

    • Piagets developmental

    • Vygotsky

    • Sapir-Whorf

    • Chomsky

    Correct Answer
    A. Sapir-Whorf
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Sapir-Whorf. Sapir-Whorf theory, also known as linguistic relativity, suggests that language shapes and influences our perception of the world and our thoughts. Linguistic relativism emphasizes that different languages have different structures and therefore influence the way speakers of those languages think and perceive reality. Linguistic determinism, on the other hand, argues that language determines or limits our thoughts and cognitive abilities. Sapir-Whorf theory combines both of these ideas and proposes that language both shapes and limits our thoughts and perception.

    Explanation
    The answer suggests that language has an impact on how we perceive the world around us. Our perception is influenced by the language we use and the way we communicate. Different languages may have different ways of coding information, which can affect our cognitive processes. This implies that the way we think and understand the world is shaped by the language we speak.
